If you use dh_make, the manpage example it provides is pretty good. You can "man ./manpage.1.ex" as you make changes to see how they look. And the help2man package also provides a good starting point if the program you are documenting knows about --help and --version. "man 7 man" is helpful. It describes the macros and it's easy to miss. Rick --
